*Katie's POV.*

We ran as fast as we could through the woods. We were almost at the road when we came to a halt.

"Stop!" Angie whisper yells grabbing my arm. We see Junior drive by. I am so furious with him. How could he do that to her? "Alright, come on." I say to Angie once the cost is clear.

We get all the way to town. It looks like there is a huge riot going on. People keep shoving into us as I try to look for Linda or Barbie, or anyone for that matter. I see Carter trying to stop everyone from going in.

"Carter!" Angie yells his shoving through the crowd. I how ever, can't get through. "Ang wait!" I yell. But then she comes back pulling me with her behind the building.

"What? What's wrong?" I ask frantically. "Junior, he's there," She says. "Did he see you?" I ask. "I-I don't know. If he did he only saw the back of my head." She says. I hatch a plan in my head.

"Give me your sweater," I say.
"Why?" She asks. We are both dressed relatively the same. Jeans and a tank top. The only difference is she is wearing a grey sweater.

"If he only saw you from the back, he might think it was me.
Then I can distract him so you can get away." I say. "Go to the Sweetbriar, Rose should be there. She'll help you." I say.
She nods.

I mess my hair up best I can and put her sweater on. "There, I'm you." I say. "Now go," I say and she takes off running.

I run into the store, shoving past dozens of people. I see a guy punch Barbie in the face and then run off. Barbie runs after him with Linda and Carter right behind him. Great, the only cop left is Juni.

"Katie," Ben walks over to me.
"This place is crazy. What to we do?" He asks. But before I can answer, a trash comes flying through the window.
"Move!" Ben pushed me out of the way. The trash can hit him.
"Benny!" I yelled as more people came flooding in. I couldn't get past them.

I was knocked into the broken glass window and cut my hand open. Ow damn! I think.

People are now trampling Benny. Anger builds inside me. I stand up and shove a guy hard into wall. Wow, I guess I don't know my own strength. I think.

I try to get Ben up but I can't get him out though this crowed on my own. My only hope is, unfortunately Juni.

He looks at me like I'm nuts. Probably because I just shoved a man a lot bigger than me into a wall. "Don't just stand there, help me!" I yell. He runs over and we drag Ben out of the convenient store.

But before I can say anything, Juni is already trying to stop more people from hurting each other. Then I hear a loud crack of thunder, and rain begins to pour down.

Benny opens his eyes. "Hey! You alright?" I ask. "Y-Yeah. I guess it can rain inside the dome." He says. I help him to his feet. "I guess so." I reply.
"Well, I guess this mean we get to live." He says. "We're gonna live!" He says again more happily. He grabs my hand and spins me around. We begin to do a weird dance in the rain. But I'm good with it.

I suddenly slip and fall, but Ben catches me. I stand up kind of awkwardly. "Um, thanks." I say.

"Your welcome," he says. We grab a few buckets and collect as much water as we can.
I see Barbie in the distance. "Hey, looks like the rain calmed people down." I say. "Yeah for now. But this won't just be a one time thing." He says.

"What do you mean?" "This isn't something that can just be forgiven. People died today." He tells me. "Oh, I didn't think it went that far. Who?" I ask. "Rose Twitchell, was one of them she was murdered in the diner." He tells me. My eyes widen. "Rose is dead? Oh my god. What happened?" I ask. Rose was a good friend. I always liked her. I can't believe she is dead. "It was the Dundee brothers." He says. That's not good. Wayland and Clint Dundee are really back guys.

"And they attacked Angie Mcalister." He adds. What? I yell inside my head. I can't believe it. In all the commotion I completely forgot about Angie!

"Angie was attacked? Where is she?" I ask. "Jim took her to the clinic. And you should probably head there to given that." He says gesturing to my bloody hand fom where it was cut earlier. "Uh, will do. Thanks Barbie!" I say over my shoulder as I run back to Ben. "Come on," I say. "Where we headed?"

"Clinic," I say as we walk. "We are both pretty banged up." I say. "Plus, I used volunteer as a candy striper so I can go help out." I say. I deside not to tell him about Angie. Not yet, I need to talk to her first.

We finally get to the clinic and quickly dry off. "I'll see you in a minute." I tell Benny. He nods.

I bandage my hand and walk up to nurse Adams. "Good to see you Katie." She says. "You too." I say putting on my candy striper dress. "A lot of people were hurt today so it's great to have your help. Just wish Angie would show up at some point." She says.

"What? She's not here?" I ask.

"No, I haven't seen Angie since the first dome day." She says.
This doesn't make sense. Barbie said Jim took her to the clinic. But she is- Oh crap.

I mentally face palm. Angie told me Big Jim locked her back in the bomb shelter again. He wouldn't bring her here. He took her.
